How IdeaStorm Works:
Have Firefox pre-installed as default browser Software submitted by robinjfisher 02/19/07 **REVIEWED**
Does what it says on the tin! Most people only use IE because they aren't aware of other browsers - they think Internet Explorer is the Internet! What would really drive take up of alternative browsers is if Firefox was pre-installed as the default browser so that when people look for the "Internet" in Windows, they are using FF. Hybrid laptops without external display! Laptops submitted by ringas85 Jun 29 Have laptops that dont have a built in display.Why you may ask?If you want a desktop computer, and the space saving and fewer cords with battery running options well than you have what I call a desktop cross-over!This would have alot of space,make the laptop at least $900 cheaper since it doesnt have a built in lcd and it wouldnt heat up so much.A bonus would be the option of using a solid state drive for even more power saving,less noise,67% less heat, and 5400MB transfer rate v.s. the average 600mb for a 5400RPM HDD that can break down after time! 3 Comments » Upgrading graphics cards a reality Laptops submitted by ringas85 Jun 29 Make Dell Laptops the most flexible laptops in the market by allowing the consumer to take out the graphics card and add a new one like a full sized desktop pc.Why not if you say you can't?You have the option to change or upgrade the RAM so why not the graphics card too?Worried people wont buy laptops as much? 7 Comments » Desktops and Laptops submitted by ringas85 Jun 29
DELL SHOULD PROMOTE DESKTOPS OR LAPTOPS TARGETED FOR SENIORS THAT NEVER USED A COMPUTER BEFORE.HAVE A TOTALLY NEW AND INNOVATIVE OPERATING SYSTEM WITH JUST A MENU SCREEN AND CLOCK.NOTHING TOO OVERWHELMING FOR SOMEONE WHO'S NEVER USED ONE BEFORE IN THEIR LIFE. HAVE THE COMPUTER TALK TO THE USER AND SAY "HELLO,WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO TODAY?" AND HAVE THE OPTIONS AS LISTED Desktops and Laptops submitted by ringas85 Jun 29 I have a Dell Inspiron Notebook, been approved, and still paying for it. I literally have excellent credit with Dell Financial and never missed a payment. I’d love to add more products to the same account as my laptop but Dell says “no, you need to do another credit application”. I am thinking “OK, I been told I have perfect credit, and I can’t add anything to my account because I need to reapply for credit?” Well I guess that makes sense to limit the revenues Dell could make by annoying their loyal customers but ok. So I tried and Dell said “Due to your credit history of inquiries, we cannot process your account. Well you guys didn’t mind processing me a laptop a year ago, so why not allow people in good standing to add onto their Dell account if its good? I think that’s not too much to ask for, and I bet a lot of Dell customers like me would 100% agree on this commonsense request =o) 1 Comment » convertable laptop keyboard,interchanable monitors Laptops submitted by ringas85 Jun 29 Have dell keyboards the ability to pop out,and use it like an external keyboard via bluetooth,or even corded with a slit incase you dont need the internal monitor on.This would give more freedom to the laptop,and make it more unique.Also have the option for the laptop monitor to be taken off,and swapped with a high resolution monitor or replacement monitor that you can do yourself.All you'd need is something that clips on,and secures itself with a few screws.This would make life alot easier for people who have an unfortunate accident and don't want the hassle of getting a whole new one,but new a certain part.most of the time the monitor and keyboard can go before antything else at times.makes life easier for us all Comment » Add more staff to the Linux development team. Linux, Service and Support submitted by aikiwolfie Jun 25 The Linux guys at Dell do a great job. But there just aren't enough of them to meet our impatient demands. Please take on a few extra bodies with Linux programing credentials to speed things up! 2 Comments » New Product Ideas, Desktops and Laptops submitted by joeaguy 02/19/07 Why are PC makers so slow to swith from BIOS to EFI? Apple did it with their Intel macs, and there are tons of reports that Windows runs faster on a Mac under BootCamp than with equivalent PC hardware. There is something to be said for their simpler EFI based hardware architecture helping speed. If Microsoft is the big hold up here, surely PC makers can put some pressure on. The PC needs to shed all of the old tech that is still in the spec. 36 Comments » HHO Fuel Cell ... Develop One Please! Environment, New Product Ideas submitted by aikiwolfie Jun 22
Give Open Source Software a Higher profile On Dell.com Dell Web Site submitted by aikiwolfie May 22 **REVIEWED**
From InformationWeek.com : Open Source Quality Improving, But Development Assumptions Need Revising There should be an option of having no trialware on all computers Software submitted by jervis961 08/23/07 **REVIEWED**
Here is a news article about trialware and how Dell feels that regular customers want it but small business ones do. Do they not look at the ideas here? create a standard USB device class for scanners Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by slashdotaccount Jun 16 Please collaborate with scanner manufacturers to write a standard USB device class and protocol for all scanners, so that every scanner built for the standard will work with any driver written for the standard. Comment » Don't charge up to $50 more to downgrade from Vista to XP Operating Systems - Multiboot, Desktops and Laptops submitted by jervis961 Jun 17 Dell is going to start charging customers up to $50 to downgrade thier systems operating system from Vista to XP after Wednesday. While some people see XP as an upgrade, I don't think there should be a charge for it. 43 Comments » Laptop Skins that produce solar energy Environment, Laptops submitted by danieljoerg Jun 1 How about producing/selling Sleeves that make solar energy usable to run Dell Laptops? 17 Comments » Laptops submitted by pablohs Jun 2 I can buy a mobile phone with integrated GPS but not a laptop? I would like to be able to buy a laptop with the GPS already integrated within the unit. I am talking integrated, NO a third party card + cables + antenna option. 3 Comments » Operating Systems submitted by kingnewby Jun 2 Windows Vista has been the greatest thing that has ever happened to Apple. The Apple OS is sleek and actually quite robust for what it is, and what is it but a BSD shell with a GUI and a few copyrighted mods. Apple is first and formost a hardware company. As a whole the population in general hates Microsoft, so why not take the Apple IS and use it as non- microsoft alternative. There is a whole underground community doing it already, so why not get together with Apple and work it out. It works great, and If I can hack it and make it work on my laptop that now quad boots with XP, Vista, OSX, and redhat, a couple of multi billion dollar companies should be more than capable. 10 Comments » Idea for more visible windows using 'depth' Desktops, Operating Systems submitted by grannybuttons Jun 15
I'd like to see an OS desktop which uses sharpness/fuzziness to increase the sense of depth. Monochrome mode display for laptops Monitors and Displays, Laptops submitted by viat0r Jun 15
It would be great to have a dual mode laptop display that had a monochrome mode. Linux submitted by zmjjmz Jun 15
Seeing as Ubuntu is open source and you can edit the kernel, it would be great if Dell customized it to better fit their computers, much like the way Apple customized DarwinBSD. (Ok, not _that_ much, but you get the idea.) Laptop Hard Drive slide out (removable) tray Laptops submitted by toyota_supra Jun 15
I would really like to see some sort of a slide out tray with a hard drive. It would be so convenient to slide in a hard drive with different operating system (XP, Vista, Linux), without going through the hustle of multi boot, confusing partitioning and last but not least, in case of a hard drive failure (even on multi boot systems) there would a quick and easy way to get up and running on a previously set up operating system(s).  track my votes
